Domestic destinantions include all of the Aegean islands except the Sporades and some smaller Cyclades and Dodecanese isles that require a connection. International destinations (apart from cruise ships) include Cyprus and the Middle East.
NOTE: Recently, official spelling changed to Pireas -- and all road signs in Athens and around updated accordingly.
